Cultureel Centrum Zwaneberg, Heist-op-den-Berg
Free
How does it feel when you are a mother, but your child is not allowed to grow up with you? In ‘Mama, Mag Ik Naar Huis Toe?’ six mothers share their vulnerable stories about the out-of-home placement of their children. They speak about the emptiness that leaves behind, the guilt and shame that haunt them, and the fear of losing the bond with their child forever. At the same time, the film shows how love and courage can be stronger than judgment and pain. ‘Mama, Mag Ik Naar Huis Toe?’ gives no easy answers, but creates space for conversation, understanding, and connection. A poignant documentary that touches the heart and emphasizes the importance of listening to parents. Tip! After the screening at 8 PM, there will be a follow-up discussion with employees of Foster Care.
